The Week That Wasn't

I'm glad last week is over. Even with the encouraging words early in the week...

Monday: Overwelmed by the the tasks before me. Oh sure, the big pieces are done but the detail and prep work needed to assemble those big pieces got to me. For instance, I am grappling with the seat and platform deck supports along the hull. I just don't "see" how these pieces fit the boat. I've got an idea to check out tomorrow…

Tuesday: Decided to install only a single reef line for now - and put it on the wrong side of the boom. I'll go ahead and install the hardware for the second reef line, just for convenience, even though I thought I'd save a bit of time only installing one reef line. I was wrong.

Wednesday: Having to deal with the Michigan Secretary of State's office regarding a non-boat related item. I experienced a fit of low confidence (hey, I used to be a lawyer so confidence should not be an issue) and I just could't do what I needed to do. I got a pep talk from a lawyer friend…

Thursday: Cloudy, gloomy, pouring rain did nothing for my mood.

Friday: Dealt with the Michigan Secretary of State's office and accomplished what needed to be done. Too hot and humid for me to actually accomplish anything…

Saturday: Up early; bikes on the back of the bike; headed out for a ride… A mile and a half out, I had a flat tire. Tools with me were the wrong ones. Walked the bike back to the car. Waited for Jan to finish her ride and went home. Way to hot and humid for me to work on the boat - or anything else.

Today: Normal Sunday - easy morning, Sunday brunch, a nap and watching the sunset (on the next to the longest day of the year). But… nothing done on Gardens.

I've got ideas re the seat/decking supports, outfitting the boom (and yard), and moving forward. Anxious to getting back to work on the boat!
